Feds probing NY beach corpses eye laptop computer

NEW YORK — The FBI has asked a court for permission to search a computer belonging to a man under scrutiny for his ties to a prostitute whose body was discovered along with three other corpses near a Long Island beach.

An agent filed an application Thursday seeking access to a laptop belonging to Akeem Cruz of Brooklyn.

Cruz is one of the last people to have been with 22-year-old Megan Waterman of Scarborough, Maine, the weekend she disappeared after traveling to a hotel in Hauppauge to meet clients for sex.

Months later, she and three other prostitutes were found dead, their remains scattered along a beach road.

In the court filing, agents didn’t mention the killings, but said they were seeking evidence of sex trafficking.
